I can't seem to get the retry to work. Here are the retry lines.

att.net         rcpt_450         F,3m,3s; F,2h,5m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,6h
bellsouth.net   rcpt_450         F,3m,3s; F,2h,5m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,6h
*                      *           F,2h,5m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,6h


Now if I run exim -brt, the last retry rule applies. The email is to
bellsouth.net, so shouldn't the 2nd rule apply?
